I dont want to send anything back , unless you think its broken

What does Zombie mean? does it mean its broken and cant be fixed? Is there anything I can do to ensure that it stays mining and not saying ZOMBIE ?

I have an antminer u3
7 port Powered USB HUB, with AC adapter
ZADIG 2.1.1
CGMINER 4.8.0



I actually also had this problem at the beginning. After removing the powered hub between the antminer and my Raspbian, it stopped displaying Zombie in the cgminer

That's a good idea. Going zombie on these is typically due to some form of interruption, the most common being power / USB power related.
Mine goes ZOMBIE about once per day. Sometimes twice in one day, sometimes it runs for 2 days straight. Is it a defective unit or not? I use CGminer 4.9.0 with no options. Plugged directly into a USB port on my desktop PC.
